SOCIO-ECONOMIC FEATURES HISTORY OF ALIAGA AS A TOWN History has it that Aliaga was originally called “Pulong Bibit” because it was a dumping place for human skeletons. Upon its establishment as a town in February 8, 1849 it was name after Aliaga, a town in Spain and the birth place of its first governadorcillo, Don Aniceto Ferry. With Ilocanos as its first inhabitants, Aliaga was one of the most beautiful and progressive town in Nueva Ecija during Spanish regime. The town of Zaragoza, Quezon, and Licab were formerly barrios of Aliaga, It had fine roads, long lines of bazaars, an imposing Catholic Church, a beautiful public plaza etc. For this reason, it earn the name “Maynilang Munti” (little Manila). But in 1873, during the administration of Governadorcillo Don Anastacio Dimaliwat, there occurred an unusual strong typhoon followed by a big flood that wrought to building, roads, bridges, farm crops, etc. In 1878, Don Alejandro Santiago was then the Governadorcillo, the river which served as drainage of town was closed by frequent floods. As a sad result, the water changed its course. It flooded the town year in and out because of the the annual floods. Aliaga came to be known as “Venice of Nueva Ecija”. After the flood, the sand and dust in the street was almost knee deep. Hence, he name Sahara Dessert of the Philippines”. The floods deposited several inches of mountain soil to the town each years, so much that the buildings were gradually buried. DEMOGRAPHIC REFERENCE POPULATION POPULATION DISTRIBUTION BY SEX

LAND CAPABILITY / SOIL CAPABILITY
Being an agricultural-based economy, land/soil is susceptible to farming. The majority of the populations of Aliaga depend on agriculture as their means of livelihood. A total of 7,504.81 hectare or 73.12% of the total land area of the municipality is devoted to agriculture, 7,041.81 hectare or 68.61% is suitable for paddy rice irrigated, mono cropping and the remaining 463.00 0r 4.5% is suitable for paddy rice-irrigated, multiple cropping. Double cropping is regularly practiced by farmers with irrigated farm land. The first crop (regular) of palay which is usually planted from May to October occupies a wider area than second cropping of palay which is usually planted from November to April. Inter-cropping of vegetable is also practiced by some rice farmers with insufficient irrigation and water supply. Eggplant, tomatoes and other are usually intercropped with palay. Crop rotation is sometimes applied such as amargoso, mongo, beans, corn and other are planted during dry season and palay planted during rainy season. This practice is properly applied, improves the soil condition of the farm including soil fertility, soil texture and water holding capacity of soil. Rice production in the municipality has a surplus, however, considering Aliaga as an agricultural municipality, there is still a need for more functional irrigation canal. The second need for agricultural development is the diversification of crops. GENERAL AND URBAN LAND USE AGRICULTURAL LAND USE
